Fran Drescher scores her own chat show

“The Nanny” star has been handed a three-week pilot run in New York, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Minneapolis, and Orlando, and if the show becomes a success Drescher will score a national debut late next year, according to EW.com.

A statement from Drescher reads, “I’m thrilled to be able to bring ‘The Fran Drescher Tawk Show’ to daytime TV, which fits me hand in glove. It will cover all of my passions, everything from pedicures to politics. America will have a chance to see the real Fran Drescher, beyond The Nanny. I’m the girl next door, a self-made woman who has been to hell and back a few times.”
